On February 26, AIGA West Michigan hosted the first of four events featuring a special presentation of work from the Archives. This first event focused on 16 posters and 40 smaller pieces that showed a connection between designers, photographers, and illustrators. The presentation was curated by Barbara Loveland and Linda Powell, 2017 AIGA West Michigan Fellow Award Recipients.

Over 100 attendees took advantage of the opportunity to view the presentation, including some of the designers and illustrators whose work was featured. Newell Brands provided sponsorship for the event and Central Michigan Paper provided additional support; thanks to both of them for making this education and celebration of design possible.
